Group E in the European Handball Championship in Hungary and Slovakia next year will be tough.
That is where Sweden and the reigning champion Spain are.
The two teams took silver and bronze respectively in the World Cup earlier this year.
In addition to Spain, Glenn Solberg's men will face the Czech Republic and Bosnia-Herzegovina.
The top two from each group advance to the main round.
The championship starts on January 13, 2022 and Sweden's group will be played in the Slovak capital Bratislava.
The other venues are Budapest, Debrecen, Szeged and Kosice.
